    Frames to use in a gallery wall are literally everywhere… even in your own homes already that you’re not using or don’t really care for what’s framed in them. Open your eyes, look around you. Thrift stores are great places to find frames, as are Goodwill & Salvation Army stores, flea markets. No need to spend lots of dollars at the high-end, affiliate linked stores (Pottery Barn & Anthropologie) or even the mid-range, affiliate stores… unless you’re into blowing $$ and in need of instant gratification.

    And Liz… you’re sending mixed messages. You encourage your readers to find what makes them feel cozy and speaks to them, and to not get caught up in the comparison game, BUT so many of your posts (including this one) use the word best over & over & over. Things you like may be the best for you at this point & stage in your life, but they’re certainly not the best in terms of quality or in terms of affordability for everyone in his/her stage of life or circumstances.

    Oh for Pete’s sakes, let the woman do her thing. If you don’t like what she says, don’t read it. We all have free will to shop where we like and make our own choices in doing so. Blog posts don’t make me immediately run and buy what they are presenting. I see this as simply information/inspiration for when I am looking for something. Thanks Liz for all of the great inspiration!

    Thanks Sandra, i could not have said it any better. Thank you Liz for sharing with us, know you don’t have to, it’s just the sweet person you are and trying to help.

  4. Love these! The antique silver one are my favorite, they would look amazing in my office

    Liz – you’re doing a great job on your blog. Some people don’t realize the word “best” is just an adjective… gotta laugh at people 🙂 I know you and Jose DO repurpose items and shop at thrifty places as well. 🙂
    Jose is so talented… is there anything he can’t do???? You’re a blessed girl and deserve every minute of it.
    Keep up the great work – proud and happy for you! Love Jose, Cope, and all of your fur babies. You’re so talented, smart, caring, pretty, and taking the time to share your ideas is a very giving quality.
    Thanks for sharing – it’s a great escape at the end of the day to read your blogs – to gather great ideas and inspiration.
    God Bless you and your beautiful family. Now have Jose make some awesome items for me to buy at your store! LOL
    J,P.
